Because profits must go up. Anything else is a failure.

This is a non-response. Profits go up when you give people things they want in a way that's sustainable and decently scalable. Plant-based meats have definitely not reached their peak of market penetration, and manufacturing costs are expected to continue declining.

If they continue to sell and continue to grow the customer base, profits will go up.

What I have found is that "profits is not enough", you must be making more profit than the competition.

If the competition is other plant based meat products then it doesn’t matter who wins

Your kind should just start calling it the P-word given how evil you think this term is.
